Worship is like a drama/theater performance:

There is the audience

There are the actors

There are the stagehands

There is the script –it’s a four act play.

    Act I: We gather in God’s Name

    Act II: We hear God’s Word

    Act III: We respond to God’s Word

    Act IV: We go out into God’s World

When worship is centered on God………

The Script is the liturgy (including what’s in the bulletin)

The stagehands (those who help the actors put on the play) are the choir, preachers, liturgist, organist, musicians, ushers, greeters, etc.

The actors are the congregation

AND………THE AUDIENCE IS GOD!

 

At First Presbyterian we enjoy what we call a blended service which include both traditional and contemporary music. We find ways to worship by using dance, art dramatic interpretation of liturgy, our jazz trio, African drums  when appropriate. All ages have opportunities to be a part of the service. Our worship team meets monthly to make plans to find ways to  make worship meaningful  to those attending the service.
